just out of curiosity, those who have one

oh and I have been succesful! I just got me a job in a nice office! (feel a little guilty as perhaps other guy deserved it more) but yay!!!!! Ive been waiting all day for the call!!
I don't know why, because I know, deep inside, I shouldn't care, but I just want to say
CONGRATULATIONS!!!! :DDD:D:D:D:D in the most jovial and sincere way humanly possible.

SOMEone got a job now at least. I know my brother's been waiting two fucking years for one, and he has the highest grades imaginable.
thanks :)

honestly I dont particually feel like I deserve it, and I can see why long term unemployment would be so depressing, my heart goes out to anyone in such a situation

anyway not doing anything is certainly not a healthy life style, though Ill have less time to waste on the Escapist

I´m currently working for a my Professor as..... something.
Mostly managing courses, reading resarch articles and deciding whether or not they could be interesting to him.
So I get teh moneyz for doing stuff I should probably do anyway.
Go me.

The important thing is that your employer felt like you deserve it.
And congratulation.

Countryside ranger. I get to wander around outside all day and my bosses have no idea what I'm doing. It's great.

I hate you.

I do flooring. It's hard, tiring, inconsistent, unstable, I don't like my boss, and has low pay. I've been trying to get another job for 2 years and have only managed to get 2 interviews at Costco and Target :/

BTW thanks OP you reminded me I have more applications to send out.

Im a Systems Support Specialist/Systems Engineer, Depends what the demand is like as to what work i am assigned by my employer. When in reality "Systems Support Specialist" Means no sleep for a week and "Systems Engineer" means carrying heavy shit (Servers + UPS's) Up and down stairs all day with some PC Repairs and construction on the side. Great Job otherwise!! XD

I build databases for elderly business owners. Mostly volunteer work, but it has its perks.

I am a rare breed, Being a broke College student, I currently hold two jobs. One in an upscale fish and chips shop - cooking, and the other with a solar initiative company - mostly doing installations and messing about trying to adapt every-day products to take a solar panel as oppose to an outlet.

As someone said - whatever you've got to do to pay the bills, right?

long term unemployed, fricken fracken job market is hell here! got laid off thanks to the economy tanking and now anything in my trade is already filled the second it hits the help wanted ads. buuutttttt.........

Ive been selling 3d models, custom work per request and pre made items via turbosquid. actualy make as much doing that as I did working. also going to estate sales, yard sales, and flea markets and collecting vintage and antigue items and selling on ebay for shits and giggles. my unemployment checks stopped coming last october and all bills are paid, food on table, and i can afford gaming still. I am not rich, never will be, never wanted to be, but I am comfortable and happy and thats what counts.

Well, you can sort of call it a job, because I do work the hours. Just no pay.
But I'm an med intern right now. I'm J.D.!
Well, I do miss a dr. Cox on the workfloor, but maybe that's for the best.

Well... I'm a university student.

But I pay the bills working at a supermarket. It's oh so very glamorous.
